The polishing activities continue on the 760 calandria tube sheet bores, that process is 65 per cent complete and should be finished by the end of March.
NB Power's Public Affairs Manager Kathleen Duguay tells CHSJ News the polishing process requires strict quality and safety. She says they need to ensure a tight seal when the calandria tubes are installed because it's part of the overall reassembly of the reactor.
They expect installation of the tubes will take place this August and the project's on track for a return to service by the fall of 2012.
